I am having a strange problem with field verification in a form. The
JavaScript below works just fine in Firefox but in IE. "license" is a
pull-down list and "requiredDiscount" is a text field. When license is
"Freeware" and requiredDiscount is "N/A", in IE (but not Firefox) you
get the message "For trialware you must enter a valid discount". It
seems that in IE "this", the form, is not set. I also tried using
"document.form" instead of "this" but then you can have
requiredDiscount as "N/A" when license is not "Freeware". Can anyone
explain what is wrong here?

<script language="javascript">
<!--
function submitIt(form){
var licChoice = form.license.selectedIndex
var sDiscount = form.requiredDiscount.value
if ((form.license.options[licChoice].value == "Freeware") &&
(sDiscount != "N/A")){
alert("For freeware you must enter a discount of N/A")
return false
}
sDiscount = sDiscount.toUpperCase()
if ((sDiscount == "N/A") && (form.license.options[licChoice].value
!= "Freeware")){
alert("For trialware you must enter a valid discount")
return false

return true
